How can a physio help you?

Like every person, every injury is different, and your physiotherapist will take you through an extensive assessment process to work out exactly what is going on in your situation. This involves a series of questions and physical tests. Once a thorough assessment has been completed, the therapist will be able to determine what structures in your body are contributing, and therefore what your diagnosis is.

The physio will then work with you to make a plan for your recovery. This will involve some education regarding your body and your injury situation, some advice regarding any modifications you may need to make to your daily activities, and a program of specific exercises to rehabilitate your body.

How Online Physiotherapy Works

Now we know what you’re thinking – how can Physiotherapy be performed online? It is often perceived as a very ‘hands on’ profession.

At Online Physio, we have taken the physiotherapy consultation process completely online. This means that you can get your injury personally assessed and diagnosed via any combination of webforms, video consultations and email. Your Physiotherapist will then formulate a rehabilitation plan specific to your needs, and convey it to your computer via written report, online video, and to your smartphone via our PhysiApp.

Physiotherapy as a whole has moved away from a reliance on complex machines and manual techniques, and more towards structured rehabilitation plans that the patient carries out themselves under guidance. This can be converted surprisingly well to an online format, and there is extensive research evidence to support this.

And rest assured, if we feel that you do need to see a Physiotherapist or other health professional 'face to face', we will certainly let you know.

If you have any questions, or wish to know if your injury is suitable for a Online Physio consultation, contact us to find out and have all of your questions answered.
